Stoked to see it running! Dont forget about the auxiliary cooling fan. When i did my swap i forgot to add it. For the most part you wouldnt even notice it missing, until you have the vehicle sit for awhile, temps will eventually rise. The clutch fan isn't enough to pull air in when sitting. But as soon as you start to drive at highway speeds, its fine.
@@Rythecarguy I have it mounted in between the radiator and transcooler. The way I mounted it is very haggard. Trimmed with sawzall, and held in with zipties. I did this fix right before going offloading and it held up great so I never addressed it further. But I'll eventually create mounts for it lol.
@@Rythecarguy yessir, I didn't want to buy any additional fans, so I used the fan that came off the truck 😂 But I'm sure there's a cleaner setup, but last time I checked a v8 pathfinder aux fan was like $200... zipties and trimming was practically free
It is possible to replace the engine with an R35 engine, with the possibility that it would not be surprising if it is able to deal with and cross rugged places such as the desert and mountains in the most difficult terrain. There were successful experiments with this mighty R35 engine on the Nissan Patrol Y61, and the result was a shock they did not expect, even in the highest sand dunes. It's like a speedboat cutting through the desert sand
@Rythecarguy see if you can hit up your local pick and pull yards for a v8 pathy fan shroud and intake pipe/box. They're kinda rare but I've found a few in my local yards
Congrats Ry! 👏🏻 Awesome to see all your hard work pay off! Did you happen to keep your notes on the jumper harnesses? I think I have two of the three plugs figured out, going through the service manuals with the spreadsheets off irate4x4, which I'm sure you spent plenty of time looking at... (man, what a pain in the butt) Just wondering if it was mainly different pin locations on the older '06? I can't wait to get my Frontier back up and running. Your videos are truly inspiring. Cheers dude! 🍻
Thank you man! And thanks for the super! Yes I do have the spreadsheet and I am making a whole video on the process. Email me and we can discuss it. Ry@rtcg.tv
So happy for you that you got it running. What a milestone. It's because of your videos that I've been able to keep my son's 07 Xterra going. Picked it up cheap and he loves it. Thanks so much!
Great job on the swap. Kinda surprised you struggled so much with the power steering and A/C lines as both of these fixes are very common knowledge on most VK swap forums and other Y-tube videos. You haven't addressed you radiator issue thus far but hopefully you discover there is a easy fix for that too rather than doing some elaborate electric fan swap.
Thanks man! Fun fact about me, I absolutely despise reading forums and I'm not a huge fan of watching UA-cam videos lol. I really like figuring things out on my own. Still working on the fan. It got cold and I don't wanna work on it now.
Ry, did you use the OE Xterra AC line when you used the Titan top AC line. I'm wondering if I need to actually order the part? I'm doing the same swap, but into a frontier.
Hey, thank you for video and hard work. i have one question about , i have scanned my X 2012 model recently and it shows P0710 error (automatic transmision temeprature sesnor error) have you ever expereinced such a issue if yes how you fixed it? thank you
Hard to say in different markets. It's hard to find one under 100k that isn't wrecked TBH. My guess would be around the 5K mark. If you can tolerate higher miles and maybe a little maintenance work while the engine is out then you can find tons of them around the 3k mark.
People also call it the clock spring. In the Xterras along with the clock spring comes a angle sensor. That sensor is used for VDC based on my understanding. If that goes bad, then it can cause issues with VDC.
@@Rythecarguy I found your video on it. Not sure if that's my issue because my horn works and the lights only pop up occasionally. Mostly on super hot days. I'll have to do some research. Thanks for the help!
On that Nissan Xterra u got has a drain hose on the overflow that we installed so it drains under the Xterra lol good work as always keep it going lol 😊
Way to go, dude! Good to know the Xterra AC line is different. I blocked off the rear air in my Armada recently and was told if that didn't work, to use Titan lines. 🤘
@@Rythecarguy There's like a T on the lower passenger side firewall and the lines for the rear run down inside the passenger wheel well. I chopped off there and used some AC line block fittings from Dorman. Cools the whole damn truck with no problem. Lol
@@Rythecarguy I still haven't charged my ac yet after my engine swap. Thinking about just paying someone as well. I haven't gone thru all the videos yet, doesn't look like you did titan swap suspension yet. What struts did you decide on since I am assuming you will do a full titan swap? I know all dogs just released a fox titan swap strut, not extended travel though. Really aren't much options with nisstec basically closing. Radflo is basically the only other option and they don't have a great rep lately with leaking and making noise. I know you can put rc frontier struts in there but they are not adjustable but are cheap. That v8 sounds awesome, looking forward to you getting it qll together!
Ry, it’s because of you my Xterra has reach 170,000 miles and still going strong. Love the videos brother. Awesome work!!!!!!
That is awesome! Glad to hear that. Thank you. 👍🏻
Ray can you please tell me where the Map sensor is located on my nessan extra 4.0 V6 is please 🥺
So excited to see 8 ball on the road!

Your the first gay car guy I ever seen small club.

Oh man trust me. I've been looking for a whole. They are damn unicorns.
@Rythecarguy I'll keep my eye out. If i run into one I'll pull and let you know
@@nomad_vk8998 that would be amazing thank you. Did you end up replacing the second fan?
Nissan did the VK swap for me when they built my 2008 pathfinder. 😂😂😂😂
Love the build. Keep up the good work!
Haha hell yea. I bet it's nice. Thanks man.
VDC and Slip light will come on when the brake fluid reservoir is low. Maybe having the break lines disconnected is tripping that?
I think you were right! They went away after the first drive
"Fragile and annoying, kinda like me" LMFAO
😂🤣
hi Ry, My X-terra is at 180 k miles, it runs perfectly fine, but what do you recommend at this mileage to take a good look at ? thank you
Fantastic job, its crazy how your the only person to actually film this awsome swap. Im stoked its you though keep up the hard work.
Thanks a ton! I know I tend to talk a lot and draw things out but I hope it gives people enough info/confidence to do the jobs themselves.
What are you going to do about all the check engine lights ?
Awesome!! Sounded really beefy, need a video of you driving or off roading that would be cool
Will do!! Right after new tires 🙃

No, I used the stock one off the Titan on both sides. From the ac compressor to the back pipe. And the back pipe. 💪🏻
Can't watch this right now BUT CANT WAIT TO WATCH after dinner.
😁😁😁 I hope you love it.
I'm trying to watch your video, but my eyes are burning too much from wildfire smoke ;)
😂🤣
Sound nice. Congratulations ❤ 🎊🍾🎊
Thanks man! So excited

I really want to do this, how much do you think I could score a wrecked donor titan under 100k miles?

My vdc/slip lights come on occasionally. What is this spiral cable you speak of ? 🤔

Lol it was a joke but I'm a man of my word. Send your address and a mask will be there
100 percent good wow thank you
Thanks! 😄
Best vk swap explanation, thanks
Thanks dude!! 💪🏻💪🏻
I think I'll take the wildfire smoke...lol...love the series, btw.
I’m guessing it’s not starting cuz it’s in reverse and not park
I was right
😂 I'm not used to the automatic and didn't even pay attention to the cluster when trying to start. I just looked at the battery voltage and that's it.
@@Rythecarguy it is the worst when you realize the problem you’ve been trying to solve for last 4 hours had the simplest solution ever
@@PYROtheNomad right!?! 😅
On that Nissan Xterra u got has a drain hose on the overflow that we installed so it drains under the Xterra lol good work as always keep it going lol 😊
Ohh good idea. Did it overflow a lot? Have been thinking about what to do with that Xterra and I think you're gunna laugh when find out.
Lol yes it works lol ? Just a joke but jack it up like a monster truck lol 😂
@@jeffreyarmstrong5974 not running yet. I think it's going to need a new motor :/ but i think I might take the roof off and make it a convertible 😄😂
That sounds very good I never thought of that 😁
Had it in reverse lol noo

Nothing sounds better than a V8! Maybe the sound of liking and subscribing! 😅
Yea lol the little ring of the bell. 😂🤣

Hey man... in my defense I have never owned an auto Xterra before. I didn't even notice the big "R" on the instrument cluster LOL.
@@Rythecarguy haha sometimes I'll turn off my Xterra in drive and wonder why I can't get the key out. Then wifey says, "you're in drive, dummy" 🤣
